You are correct and I meant to acknowledge that in my comment. I took them to mean "here" as U.S.

> Here we tend to ventilate only once the fire is under control rather than during the rescue and initial attack stages. Cutting a hole in a roof to ventilate a fire is never done. Breaking a window is very rare. Respectfully disagree.

Oof, wildland ff. I've done a bit of that but on the flat ground in FL. I couldn't imagine doing that in the back country with hills and mountains. My old FD has sent strike teams out west, which is another thing I can't i

Twice! I left engineering (non-CS) at 36 y/o to become a firefighter-paramedic. Long story short, took EMT-Basic at night for shits and giggles, realized I really liked it. Then went to paramedic school afterwards not knowing what I

Graduated with my degree at 45 and started working part time various places. Took my first fulltime job at 50 in 2020. I took a new job in August 2022 at 52. I think it is a numbers game. A lot of appplications get denied w/o a singl

Would reverse SSH-ing from the laptops to a VPS with a static IP solve this problem? It sounds like OP would still be using AWS so he could set up a permanent IP there and then reverse SSH. I have $5/month VPS which I use for this rea

Thanks for this. I don't get to far in the weeds with setting up emacs but this showed me how to make the toolbar disappear so I'll be adding that. I've unfortunately put CL on the back burner for the past month or so. I fe

Great question and I'd like to add one: When you started your consulting business where you advertising or through networking to find clients?

Yep. C64 basic was my gateway into programming. I typed in almost all of my games from Compute and Compute's Gazette. That was until I joined a C64 user group and started getting pirated stuff.

Correct. I had a doctor tell me one time that when treating a patient "if you hear hoof beats don't look for zebras". Meaning, take what you see and hear for what they are. Because someone has a headache don't assume

As a former firefighter-paramedic for 14 years turned full-time software dev I disagree. Was being a FF-PM stressful? Sure, at times. But there was a LOT of down time, even while on duty. There was banter between co-workers, working out,

Sorry to hear that. As far as diseases go I guess I'm fairly fortunate. I don't have to manage it day-to-day but it is always in the back of my mind. If I had known in my teens and 20s I'd end up with this type of disease I&
